This Blog Just Took a Strange Turn
I am Saul, Nicole’s loving husband. Prepare for posts that are not as elegant or stimulating as my wife’s entries. I will be posting updates as at times during and after her surgery. As you compare and contrast our writing styles and grammar please keep in mind that kindness is indeed contagious. That includes you,
Kids Get a Shout Out for Kindness
Kindness is a big deal in our house. It’s cause for celebration. We don’t have confetti or banners or balloons that drop from the ceiling, but my kids know they’re going to get a big hug and see absolute joy in their momma’s face when I find out they’ve gone out of their way to

Give Yourself and Others Some Grace
I don’t even care that I have breast cancer right now. I really don’t. Do you know what I’m distraught about?
